“Yidu Were ety ever since he obtained Jingzhou Everything that had happened, such as the coalition against Dong Zhuo and the incidents at the Central Plains was seezhou was still as stable as before All of these, along with his age, made Liu Biao more like an exhausted and spiritlessahead

Unfortunately, Liu Biao could no longer escape fro Zhuo had been overthrown Yuan Shao was now in a hopeless situation It was also tizhou to fall into disorder
